The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, August 23, 1881, Image 4
We had on board, as a matter of course,
the betting young man from Chicago. No
steamer ever sailed that did not have this
young follow aboard, and there are enough r
of them to last the Atlantic for a great
many years. He knows everything that 0
everybody thinks he knows but does nXt, f
and his delight was to propound a query, 0
and then when you half answer it to cooly 0
and exasperatingly remark:
"Bet yer a bottle of wine you're wrong." r
The matter would be so simple and one 1
of so common repu;e that immediately you 1
accept the wager, only to dnd that in some '
minute particular you were wrong, and that
the knowing youth had won. -
For instance: a
"I'hompson, do You know how many :
States there are in the Union I"
Now, any citizen of the United States
who votes and is eligible to the Presidency t
ought to know how many States there are
in his beloved country without thinking,
but how many are there who Cai say off
hand I And so poor I hmf sod answord : a
"What a question 1 Of course I know."
"Bet yer bottle ye don';."
"Done." A
"There are-"
Atid then 'I hompson would dnd himself d
figuring a very important proulem as to
whether Colorado had been admitted, and i
Nevada and Orngod, and he wou d decide a
that one had and the other hadn't, and 0
flually state the number, with great certainty 1
that it was wrong. -t
T he Chicago man's crowning bet occur- 1
red the last day out. The smoking-roni was Y
tolerably lull, as well as the occupants, and a
everybouy was bored, as everybody is on V
the last day. Tie Chicago man had been 8
silent for an hour, when suddenly he broke il
out?
"Gentlemen-" i:
"Oh, no more bets," was the exclama- Y
tion 01 tite entire poirty. "Give us a rest." t
"I dou't want to bet, but I can show you c
something curious." - d
"Welti" u
"I say it and mean it. I can drink a b
glass of waier without its going down my q
throat. fi
"And get it into your stomach I" a
"Certainty." t
Tnere was a silence of considerable more L
than a minute. Every nian il the room had tI
been victimized by this gatherer of incon- t
siderate trilice, and there was a general (di- t
positi-m to get the better of hu in somie
way, if possible. Here was the opportunity. p
How could a nia get a glass ot water into c
his stomach witliout it going down his r
thioat I imposmible I And so the usual s
bottle of wine was wagered, and the Chica- e
go man proceeded to accomplish the sup- d
posed imnpossible feat. It was very easily t:
done. All he did wats to stand upon his 1
head on the scat that ruus around the room i
and swallow a glasm of water. Lt went to f
his stomach, but it did not go down his I
throat, And so his last triumph was greater k
titan all his previous ones, 1or every ian M
Ii the room had been eager to accept iis a
wager. From that tine out had he offered ,
V) wager that he would swallow his own I
head he would have got no takers. e
"The Long-logged Looo."
The monster locomotive built at Altoona. 'b
Pa., for the Pennsylvai.ia Ralroad Con
pany, made her first trip between
Philadelphia and Jersey City recently. She f
is technically known as the "new class K V
engiue." but han been given the name of v
the "long-legged loco" by the railroad men. P
This latter title comes from h'er big driving I
wheels, which stand six feet six inhiesi
above the rails. Five feet anti eight inches t
Is the height of an ordimary anthracite en- A
gine. The now iocomotive is intended as I
an improvement upon the I clest designs of t
fast and powerful passenlger engines, where - l
in thie highest a.m sought is a loaomotive '
that can be relied on to pull the heaviest a
trains over all grades, against stilf winids
and with the least p~ossible liability towaird t~
hot boxes or low steam, on the quickest i
schedule time. She has 18 inch cyliuders', t
and a mnaximium steam pressura of 1410 r
pounds. She has a greater lire surface by C
nearly 60 square feet than the next, best 1
locomotives, and the b~g lire -box is i;amed
in a peculiar manner. Instead of hanging
inste the sidle frame with the springs on
..~- top of the frame, the boiler irests on the
frame and the springs'are beneath it. The t
width of the frame is thus ginned for thie.
lirebox, and the boiler's steammtg catpacity
ls materially increasedt. To\ meet this and
get the added force of steam I reely in andl
out of the cylinders, large and malsivo
valves that give a great aieca of steain porI

A Now Way to Proposo Marmriag.
The t'de Is tiurning at last. A yountg
man in Nelsoni county, Iowa, armed him
self with a revolver to shoot a young wo
man Who had declined the offer of his hand.
But she was up to snmulf. She rcadl the
paper and had frequently seen accounts of
similar affairs, quietly resolving that no
discal ded lover could make a victim of her,
not if the court, or iather the courted, un
derstoodt h. rself. When the young man
arrived at the house on his deudly mbision
he found the fair but, cruel one in the
kitchen doing tho week's ironing. She
didn't appear to suspect and he expected
to have an easy time prepa:lng her for the
coroner ; but when he reached arou'id to the
pistol pocket, wvith the remuar!k that her
time had come, she staled, ''1 guess not,"
and knocked hhn down wimh a flatiron,
demolishing his nose and front iet Then
she gave him the scalding contents vf a tea
kettle that was hinging a cheerful aIr on the
stove, and when the la'.Ily catue -in she
was mopping the floor with hIm. The
neout time he proposes and is refused he|
will probably conclude that that settles it.,
AGRICULTURAL.
Usi GOOD TooLs-A great many farmers
re "penny wis and pound foolish" in
Dgard to farm tools and implements.. It is
ery poor economy to use poor and worn
ut tools, when by their use the work is
ade more tedious and less effectual. All
%rmers are familiar with the difference
f using a saw that is in good order and
no that is old, rusty and dull. The same
uile holds good with all farm tools, in a
reater or less degree. It has been said "it
i a poor carpenter who does not keep his
sols sharp.'" We belleve the same saying
light be equally well applied to farmers.

letter use up the grindstone than the
xtra muscle in working with a dull or
isty tool. The few minutes tha tit
ikes to grind a tool will be returned with
iterest by the tine and strength saved.
iut it Is one thing to have good tools and
nother thing to keep them good. The In

ut of the rain ad hot sun alithe time.
little cure must be exercised to keep tools
i their place, which should be always un.
or shelter.
ECONOMIZINo LAND -We see It some.'
,here recowended, but it is by no means
new idea, that, in setting out apple
rchards, the trees of which should not be
as thin thirty feet apart, ta plant peach
'eos between the apples. They will not
ulerfere with young apple trees for many
cars,and then not until about two gener
tions of peach ireesshall have passed away.
Ve have referred to this economizing of
mace on several occasions, iaving seen
adopted by somee irst-class fruit growers.
Ve are glad to see that raising of peaches
i the eastern counties of this 8tate is
early increasing, and it is no doubt found
be quite as profitable as any other fruit
rop when its cultivation is properly un
erstood. As dried fruit for winter
se there is none so popular, there
eing a demand at all times for any
tiantty that can be raised, The old
isbioned method of drying the peach),
[ter quartering with the skin on, we don't
link has been improved on by removing
to skin, because the skin and that part ot
to flesh adhering to the skin, wihilch con
dIU the largest proportion of the flavor of
ie fruit, aro lost.
KEIINo FLOUR 8WrKT.-The keeping
r-perties of flour depend largely on the
ire bestowed up m tile wheat before it
aclies the miller's hand. The wheat
iould not be allowed to stand in the field
xposed to drenching r..ins, or housed in a
amp state. It, is qiilte generally agreed
iat the bran of wheat sours first. and the
igh grade flours, from which every ves
go of the hull is removed, retain their
resliness longest. If wheat is perfectly
ry when put into the bin or garner it will
cep a long time without "heating" but it
,ill keep a much longer time if si ored where
current of fresh air is admtied. Flour
rill keep best in a cool, dry, airy room.
n tile summer flour should not be stored
ither in a ccllar or garret, but in rooms
'here 1here is a free circulation of fresh
ir. Flour should not be stored wit Ih grain
r other substauces which are liable to
eat, as it has been known to spoil from
eing stored in contact with such articles.

Gus Ds Ssirn is rather slovenly in his
habits, and does not always wipe off his
enin after meals. A few days ago he re.
marked Incidentally to his landlady that he
intended to shave off his nustache.
"Oh, don't do it, hir. de Smith," she ex
claimed.
"Don't you think it would inprove my
appearance ?" asked Gus.
"I think it would very much, but don't
have your mustache shaved off'"
"Why not?"
"Because I want everybody to keep on
knowing what I give my boirders for

Somebody has since shown Gus the point,

AiN old farmer noted for his eccentricitles.*

himself, and whofs vag r.ts ex'i .Ited
themselves lu ways most maiked and uni-x

"I DESIRE," said the husband to his wife,
as they were walking along the shore,
"'that when I die I may be buried in a plain,

YoUNo man, beware of stock and grain

KIDNINY 0 OMPLAINTS.
DISEASE OF TIIE KIDNEYS.
The symptoms of an acute attack of Inflamma
tlrn of the kidneys are as follows: Fever, pain in
the small of the back, aint thence shooting down
ward; numibness of tile thigh, vomiting, usually
at tirst a deep red color of the urine, which be
comes pale and colorless as the discase increases,
anl is ischargod very often with pain and difu
culty; costivenieas, and some degree of collo. In
chronic diseases of the kidnoys tile symptoms are
pain in the hack and limbs, dryness of the skin
frequent urinations (especially at night), general I
a!rop y, headacie, dizziie" of sight, lutg entIon
ani palpitation of the heart, gradual loss oi
strengtit, paleness an". puitlness of the face, cough
antd shortness of breath.
In diseases of the kidneys the VRoRTINE gives
limiediate relief. t has never failed to cure when
it is taken regularly anti directions followed. In
many cases it way take several bottles, especially
eases of long stanading. it acts directly upon the
secretions, cielinsing and strengthening, removing
all obslrlitationsu4 and lnipurities. A great many
can testify to cases of long standing having been
perfectly cured by the.VXR rINE, even arter trying
miany of the known remedies which are said to be
expressly for this distase.
